WHAT I CAN HELP WITH

DevOps services

Practical engineering support for the things that slow your team down. From a single workflow to the infrastructure behind it.

/01

Workflow automation

Make the repetitive automatic.

Connect your tools and turn recurring tasks into dependable workflows. Less copying, clicking, and chasing things down.

Recent example: automated report generation and downloads, then parsed the data and visualized the results to make recurring reporting easier.

  • Integrations
  • Custom tooling
  • Automated operations

/02

CI/CD & delivery

A clearer path to production.

Build pipelines your team can trust, with useful feedback, repeatable releases, and fewer manual steps between commit and deploy.

At JSC Liberty Bank, I overhauled build, deploy, and rollback pipelines across every application — frontend and backend — including apps that had no automation at all before.

  • Build pipelines
  • Release automation
  • GitOps

/03

Code & secrets security

Bring security into the workflow.

Catch vulnerable code, exposed secrets, and risky dependencies earlier. Put practical security checks where your developers already work.

Currently working hands-on with GitHub Advanced Security, CodeQL, and Mend.io in production at EPAM Systems.

  • Secret management

/04

Cloud & infrastructure

Infrastructure you can reason about.

Simplify your environments, find wasted resources, and move manual configuration into versioned, repeatable infrastructure as code.

Managed and supported 170+ Windows and Linux virtual machines at Georgia's High Council of Justice, and run a full Proxmox/Kubernetes/Ansible homelab in my own time.

  • Infrastructure as code
  • Cloud & on-prem
  • Containers

WORKING TOGETHER

Scoped projects and ongoing support

Remote collaboration with international software teams. Tell me about your current setup and what you want to improve.

A defined implementation project

Bring a pipeline, workflow or infrastructure problem. We can discuss the work needed and what a useful result looks like for your team.

Ongoing engineering support

Get help with improvements as your systems and priorities evolve. Tell me where your team needs continuing support.

HOW WE GET THERE

How we work together

You work directly with me, from the first conversation to the final handover.

  1. 01

    Understand

    We start with your team, your setup, and what is getting in the way.

  2. 02

    Make a plan

    Agree on a practical scope, clear priorities, and what a good result looks like.

  3. 03

    Build & improve

    Implement in manageable steps, with testing and visibility along the way.

  4. 04

    Hand it over

    Leave you with documented systems and the knowledge to keep them running.
